Is United Malt under- or over-valued?
Valuing United Malt stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of United Malt's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
United Malt's P/E ratio
United Malt's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 125x. In other words, United Malt shares trade at around 125x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
United Malt's EBITDA
United Malt's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $62.3 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a United Malt's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
